ITEM 1.  CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT

     On January 8, 1999, Meteor Industries, Inc. ("Meteor" or the 
"Corporation"), filed a Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission describing a December 30, 1998, transaction that could be 
considered to constitute, or to create a possibility of, a change in control 
of the Corporation.  In that transaction, Nevada Manhattan Group, Inc. 
("Nevada Manhattan"), purchased 1,212,000 shares of the Corporation's common 
stock from Capco Aquisub, Inc.  That transaction shall be referred to as the 
"Capco Transaction" and the shares that were the subject of the Capco 
Transaction shall be referred to as the "Capco Shares."

     Details regarding the Capco Transaction were set forth in a document 
captioned "Term Sheet" and dated December 30, 1998, between Nevada Manhattan 
and Capco.  A copy of the Term Sheet was attached to the earlier Form 8-K as 
Exhibit 10.1.  

     The Term Sheet provided, among other things, that Nevada Manhattan 
"shall have the right to rescind the [Capco] Transaction by no later than 
February 15, 1999."  By a letter to Capco dated February 12, 1999, Nevada
Manhattan gave notice that it had elected to exercise its right of rescission.
A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1B.  As a result of
Nevada Manhattan's election to rescind, the Capco Transaction has been
terminated, and the Capco Shares have been redelivered to Capco.

     On January 21, 1999, Meteor filed a further Report on Form 8-K 
describing an additional transaction that was closely related to the Capco
Transaction.  The additional transaction was one that could be deemed to
involve a further change in control of the Corporation.

     In the additional transaction, the Meteor Board of Directors designated 
a series of preferred stock titled Series B Preferred Stock (the "Preferred 
Shares"), such series to be subject to the terms described in the January 21, 
1999, Form 8-K.  The purpose of the Preferred Shares was to permit Meteor to 
enforce certain rights related to the Capco Transaction, as described in the 
January 21, 1999, Form 8-K.  Pursuant to the authority granted by the Board, 
the Corporation issued an aggregate of 300 shares of the Preferred Shares on 
January 11, 1999, to three members of the Board, as described in the January 
21, 1999, Form 8-K.  

     In light of the rescission of the Capco Transaction, Meteor intends to 
call a special meeting of its Board of Directors to consider redemption of 
the outstanding Preferred Shares.  The special meeting has not yet occurred.
Until further action by the Board has been taken, the Preferred Shares will 
remain in place.
